How to install geany to develop applications in java
by Dan Healy 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

I develop software in java. I have been using geany on a ubuntu linux system. Due to conditions beyond my control I have had to go to Windows 10. I have installed geany on my Windows 10 system but I am unable to get geany to find my java source code. I don't think java is included with my installation of geany. How do I install geany on my Windows 10 system so I can edit java code, compile it, and execute it? Thanks, Dan H

ScribbleTabs
by Geoff Kaniuk 26 Nov '20

I find the Scribble feature very useful and use it frequently. My editor tab settings are 4 characters, but in Scribble the tab spacing is 8. I wonder if there is any way to modify the tab setting in Scribble? Thanks. -- Geoff 33 Ashbury Close, Cambridge CB1 3RW 01223 710582

Highlighting active fold
by Muhammad Altahhan 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

Hi everyone, I wonder if the option to highlight the active fold is still available in Geany? According to the following website: https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/765/?page=0, it was available at some point. Right now, this feature has been implemented in Scintilla, which I think Geany uses as a text editing library. The feature can be enabled by using "" SCI_MARKERENABLEHIGHLIGHT "". I also found the same option in wxWidgets here: https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_styled_text_ctrl.html#aba8bda36ef1…, if it might help with anything. Thank you very much in advance!

Compile menu for .nim files
by Helmut Jarausch 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Hi, When editing a Nim file (.nim), syntax highlighting works, but there is no "Compile" item in the "build" pull down menu. How can I enable this item. Furthermore how can "jump" to the line in error if compilation fails. Many thanks for a hint, Helmut

proper upgrade technique
by Mike McCauley 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

Under Ubuntu Linux, what is the recommended technique to upgrade Geany as newer versions are released? All I've been able to find online is info on how to do an initial install, and some upgrade suggestions that didn't work. I've put a ton of time into customizing my install, and I for sure don't want to screw up and have an "upgrade trick" wipe all that out. I am only in interested in installing stable code, not bleeding edge development versions. Thanks in advance! Mike REF: Ubuntu 20.04, Geany 1.36

help - a link to a relative simple tutorial for a setup to do a "make" of Raspberry PI 2020-08-2020-raspios-buster-armhf-full

Greetings all, 1st of all I want to give Lex kudos for the previous absolutely QUICK response to my 2 previous requests. 2nd I have been using Geany on my 3 PI-4s for approximately 2-3 years. Im, by no means. A pro yetstill learning. 3rd Since it seems a long time between the Raspberry IOS to include the later Geany updates, I would like to compile the v 1.37.1 code. I have downloaded the Geany source code and put it on my development PI-4 according to Lexs instructions. Ive tried to follow Lexs <https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/configurebuildmenu> https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/configurebuildmenu User Guide. I get to the part about setting up the Set Build Commands and I get confused. I dont intend to make any changes to the code. I just want to a bit newer than 1.33. One final question: what character can be used as the 1st character of a folder name to make it appear at the top of the FileManager listing? Thanks, Bob Robert L.

by Colomban Wendling 09 Nov '20

We are happy to announce a new release of Geany! This is a bug fix release following the recent release of Geany 1.37. On Windows, Geany crashed on startup without an existing configuration file. This release fixes this bug and Geany will startup normally again. Other operating systems were not affected.
